 * ==**Can parents view** **student written responses** **on the ACCESS?**== || The short answer is I don't know yet.

This analysis of FERPA (The "Family Education Rights & Privacy Act" suggests that they //should// be allowed to.

Here's the information sheet and form for the State of Washington Office of Public Instruction for parents to [|make the request to look at the test questions and the student responses]. (Washington is an ELPA state, not an ACCESS state ..)

The security measures are crazy, though.
 * Two District employees must be present.
 * The parent has one hour to look at the test.
 * They can't take any notes.

The point is that they really don't want anyone looking at those tests.

Regardless, it's probably not cricket to use this as a way for teachers to sneak a look at the ACCESS Writing scoring process. (It's problematic, though, because that means that WIDA's scoring process is almost completely unverifiable.) || =(with example answers, etc.)= =for Gr 8 Science Standard on tectonic plate movement& geo events.= || ==@http://tiny.cc/3csTectonPrompt==
